Dolomite is known mostly as a boring "accessory" mineral in small crystals. But these Spanish examples are exquisite and impressive, with their gemminess, luster and size! Here is a cluster of fine rhombs, the largest measuring over 3.5 cm along the edge. CLASSIC old-time material from the 1960s-1970s!
